"Carl Sagan - Pale Blue Dot" [3:31]

basically i think all of my preferences, opinions, etc to do with programming are because i don't actually like programming. i like MAKING THINGS, and a lot of the things i want to make involve programming. but the actual thing itself is just a means to an end. i dont care about using a closure or a lambda or whatever. i just want to tell a computer to make things happen. destroy the nerd's. theyre making us do shit which isnt necessary. destroy them!!!! DESTROY THEM

PSA: You can be a ✨plush✨ if you want :D

Some folks on birdsite are tagging our project account in tweets like "hey jack twitter should copy this thing mastodon does". The idea that this is merely about features is short-sighted. Twitter will never, ever, ever be your friend. They are the shareholders' friend, not yours. No feature will let you see what their engineers are working on, what's under the hood. No feature will fix their headquarters in the US following and enforcing US laws and customs worldwide.

Furries: tails are really good

When did browsing the web suddenly start requiring more than 4GB of RAM?

Like.. how did that happen? What changed between 2008 and today that made a few webpages take up more RAM than Photoshop?

I am looking at dogs available for adoption and getting The Feels ;o;

Give me your dogs, your doggos, your huddled puppers yearning to run free.
